My Birding Journey
Next to working on my photography while going on inspirational and exciting trips, I also spend a lot of my time in the Netherlands on birding. From appreciating birds in the local forest to seeking out rare or new species, I love both photographing and watching them. Besides birds, I also take an interest in other groups of species, like moths and mammals.

A few years after I started my passion for nature photography, I also discovered the world of birding. This other hobby, closely intertwined with photography, has grown over the years. I began documenting my bird observations and learning more about all kinds of Dutch birds. Next to photography, I can confidently say I consider myself a passionate birder and photographer alike.

Of course, one of the first things a birder does is track all the species he has seen by making lists. Currently, I'm tracking my:
Dutch lifelist: 238 species
World lifelist: 246 species
Self-found list: 192
Province Groningen list: 223
